Welcome!

Welcome to Spritesmods. At this site, I'll document my more interesting hacks
for your viewing pleasure. While it's not updated that regularly, I try to add an
article about every month.

Ow, by the way: all the pictures are thumbnails. You can click on them to
get the originals, straight from my camera. If you want to comment on an article,
there's a discussion area at the last page of every one of 'em.

You can follow Spritesmods on Twitter
too if you want to know about the projects I'm working on, that may or may not
eventually make it to the site.

Yes, I am fine - just doing lots of stuff I don't have time to put on this site. I'm working on documenting the tiny Macintosh Plus I made; I did a talk about it previously and I need to write it all out and put it on the site. I'd really like to get working on some more small projects again - the big ones are cool but if you want to finish them, a year can fly by without problems.

Hello Sprite. How are you? Hope you are fine.You sorta desappeared after your game boy keychain talk(loved it). There are hackers very keen to read your write-ups again. I have learned a lot visiting here. Thanks for sharing your projects.
Best regards.

Hi Sprite,
Thank you for the great httpd project, I have used it in a lot of home automation nodes.
Now I want to move to esp32, do you plan to integrate the httpd project into the new IDF SDK ?
I look forward to hear your comment

Thank You for the httpd project! I just got it to work after stumbling through the eclipse & tool chain setup in Win 10. If you ever update it, please add a note to the readme to indicate that htmlflash has to be double clicked in addition to flash in order to send the page content to SPI flash. I still do have a few minor problems, probably my fault - going to try to solve them myself as I learn more that way! Just studying your code alone should be a great way to learn ESP coding!

Sprite_tm, amazing work on the tiny Game Boy! Since you live in China now, you should totally tip off some local companies about this project (when you release the software, 3D plans and the schematics) and I'm sure it will become a reality in no time without legal risk to you :)

No worries, I'm still alive, but I moved to what is basically the other side of the world. I had to leave almost my entire electronic lab behind and rebuild it here. That all is done and I'm happily working on projects again; it just takes a while for it all to end up as something I can publish, though. If anything, I'll be speaking on the Hackaday Supercon next week, and I'll be making an article about it shortly afterwards.

Hi
Love the esphttpd software. I've modded it to handle MQTT protocol for some home automation stuff I'm working on.
Problem I've got is getting mkespfsimage.exe to work.
I've managed to build the 2012 version using visual studio and I can create the webpages file and blow it to the esp module, but it comes up with magic errors.
I've over riden the compeession types ro 1 and level ro 1 and it produces a file of the correct size (approx. 41K) but it doesn't work.
I'm having a crack at compiling under cygwin but not really getting anywhere, but I'm a linux newbie.
I don't suppose you have a mkespfsimage.exe dor Windows hanging around? In guess that even a compiled Linux version would be useful as I could run it under debian or ubuntu.
Currently, I've got a raspberry pi2 running debian, mosquitto MQTT, Node Red and a MYSQL server. All of this gets hooked to by the ESP module!
I've also done a little board with an Atmel ATTiNY85 that handles the reset and GPIO0 to make programming automatic ala Arduino. It also has a temperature sensor and an opto relay for mains control..lots of fun
I need to mod the web pages so that I can configure the MQTT server details ... I've already made the SSID setup work on a button at power up and saved the details to flash, but I'm stuck on generating new setup web pages.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi... I've been trying to modify your webserver example to fetch data from a UART device. Here's the problem.. Although the communication works, the watchdog timer resets the device if there's the slightest delay in fetching the UART data. How do I disable the WDT? I can see some Register declarations, but can't figure out how to use them

One more thing : Could you post a way to disable the debug output altogether? Will save me the trouble of having to make the connected devices reject the debug data and look for a header segment

Hi, I have two 16GB and an 8GB chip from broken Ipod Touch units here as well as a few assorted Flash chips.
Any use?
I tried to transplant one onto a BGA capable pendrive but it isn't doing anything.
Can send this too as it might be handy due to the large pin spacings.
Had a thought about interfacing to chips, what about using an elastomer based system and 3D printed clamp?
The connectors used on Poundland voltage sensors are useful here, discovered that ages ago.

Sprite_tm wrote at 19 Apr 2013, 3.34:

Sorry, the coin validator isn't done yet... I can get it to validate coins fairly well directly after calibrating it, but temperature, humidity, the phase of the moon and who knows what else makes it pretty unreliable even after sitting for just one day, making it kinda useless. I'm still planning on picking up the project again, but I'm not sure when I'll find the time.

Very cool! I did a somewhat similar hack not long ago, but since I didn't know about the ZIF socket I used the more expensive 360 Clip and a RPi to bit-bang it. See http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=16775
The main issue with the 360 Clip is that the contact with the NAND is not very good, and in addition part of the PCB sticks out of the clip, leading to inability to position the clip if there is a high enough component, like a capa, on one side of the NAND.

That explains some. But may I suggest you cut that down to say, one or two days to cover cost of living, in order to free the rest up to create even more projects to amaze us!

Sprite_tm wrote at 21 Jun 2011, 12.13:

I only work 4 days a week, so I have some extra time. I also am single, so no family to eat up time, and that all adds up to a fair amount of free time. Of course, stuff like socializing and friends tend to creep in (no idea how, but I seem to have somehow acquired a life outside of the online world) but all in all there's still a rather sizy chunk of time I can use for interesting projects.

If a company would like a commercial license for my code, we could always discuss that, but every non-trivial piece of code I write is going to end up being under the GPLv3.

Usually, one to one-and-a-half of these is filled with boring stuff like cleaning, keeping the house in shape, scouting etc, but the rest I can use for interesting projects. Unfortunately, about half of the projects fail in a more or less early stage, so there's some time I don't spend on any projects which will make it to the website. (I'll maybe post them sometimes; even if not completely finished, there still are a couple of interesting things in between.) All in all, it's still enough time to do one project a month; my productivity is more limited by a lack of inspiration than by a lack of time.

No prob :) Atm, I'm working on two things which both are large-ish projects, so they take some time to actually finish. In the mean time, I'll see if I have something that's published elsewhere that I can put online here too; if I find something, I'll try and put it online tomorrow. Indeed, this site has been without updates for too long ;)

Sorry to bother ya, but are you planning to release anymore articles soon? :) - I haven't been able to find another site even remotely like your own, which is kinda sad. :(

They probably don't want you (sprite) to get one in your hands, because you'll probably crack this device too :P

Sprite_tm wrote at 25 Mar 2008, 12.33:

The IronKey sounds like a secure device. Unfortunately, they seem to be restricted to export it to Europe, where I'm based, so I have no hands-on experience to see if the security is real or not.

JoeJoe wrote at 24 Mar 2008, 8.16:

Hey Sprite_tm, A friend of mine has been gloating about the "IronKey", from their site description is sounds secure. (Although Windows/OSX only..) Have you seen it? https://www.ironkey.com/

Sprite_tm wrote at 18 Mar 2008, 11.11:

Done. Please be more carefull about where you fill in your email-address next time, tho'.

cheers

I hope you're still alive, haven't seen anything of late.

The picframe email address you supplied does reject all emails... where to send hacks to?

Your hacks and tutorials are intense. Pulsing an RGB LED to run a POI display is just brilliant. I work for Instructables.com and have to say there's a keen lack of clever hacks like your own represented on the site. Would you consider posting there?

I once read about the 'electronic stamp' than 'the knock to open' rig and now I realize they are from the same blog as the "LED fan clock" ! Congratulation , man !
All of these well documented also. BTW I like paper sketches.

Nope, I'm still alive. There are a couple of good articles coming up, but I'm involved in other projects too and the articles that I'm going to publish are things in cooperation with other sites, so they unfortunately take a lot longer to arrange. ETA til a new article is about 2 weeks, so stay tuned :)

Wow! I love this site. I especially like the gp2x USB hack. Have you tried using a wireless USB adapter with this? Did it work? Also, can you recommend the best place/books to learn all this neat stuff? Thank you.

An RSS-feed sounds OK, I'll try and implement it. I'm not sure about e-mail-nodification, but I'll see what I can do.

Luka; great idea, sign me up too

Oli wrote at 15 May 2007, 14.38:

How about an RSS feed, and great site.

Luka wrote at 15 May 2007, 12.09:

Hey mate, keep up a good work! One small suggestion, make a mailing lists or announce list where ppl can sign in and you can broadcast your new stuff! :)

I have an old Compaq Aero 2180 palm size pc running Windows CE Net v2.11. I want to add a usb port so I can connect a Delorme GPS Earthmate. I was wondering if you could tell me first of all if its possible and if so do you know of any reading material and/or websites that might be helpful.

Pictures are fixed now. I've had two (yes, two) HD headcrashes in my server, and seemingly not all permission bits came back from the backup OK.

Hey, I tried emailing but it didn't go through.
I drew some schematics for a circuit, please email me so i can get it to you, it's much easier to read than your handywork ;)

I love the GP2X mods and I have a question:
Have you tried/been able to get a usb wifi module working from the built in usb host port?
Keep up the fun projects!

Found your website! I like to read about your projects. there are fun to build (if only I had spare time!)

julian wrote at 11 Oct 2006, 3.34:

You had a great idea registering the new domain. Pleas keep your site updated. There are a lot of people (like you and me) who like to spend time doing these kind of things ;)
